this was a landmark game for me, as you can see i was rated 1730 against 1923 strong player. i managed to keep my cool to the end and force a win. a good example to lesser players on how to do so.
common opening (kings pawn) | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
1... c5 
 | 
sicillian defence one of the best ways to reply | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
2. c4 
 | 
interestingly enough this move works as apposed to the more common 2 knf3 or even the d4 gambit  | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
2... Nc6 
 | 
logical continuation | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
3. Nf3 
 | 
was to be expected | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
3... d6 
 | 
solidifying centre ideas | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
4. Nc3 
 | 
centre ideas coming up | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
4... Nf6 
 | 
symetrical with equal opportunity to win for both sides | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
5. d4 
 | 
an aggressive move right on cue | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
5... Bg4 
 | 
good defence to use in such situations, not always best | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
6. d5 
 | 
the next move to solidify the centre for white | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
6... Ne5 
 | 
counter attack | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
7. Be2 
 | 
prepairing to castle to safety  | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
7... Bxf3 8. gxf3 
 | 
better than bishop takes, after the advance to f4 the knight will have to retreat with a perfect centre for white | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
8... e6 
 | 
counter attack |
